That’s why we are proud to support London Climate Action Week (LCAW) every year.

In 2025, throughout the week, our dedicated sustainable finance and investment teams hosted and participated in a series of events and discussions, convening key industry players to celebrate and support climate initiatives around the world, in the historic financial hub we call home.

2025 has been the biggest year yet for London Climate Action Week700 events this year, with twice the size of last year.And really aiming to, as we say on the tin, harnessthe power of London for global and local climate action.Here at LSEG we brought together investors, banks,companies and policy makers throughout the week.We hosted 12 events and a daily morning broadcast showfeaturing more than 70 influential voices in climate finance from around the world.We started with a market open,reflecting on the progress being made to address climate change.Immediately after we hosted the first episodein our daily broadcast series, London Climate Action Week Finance Live,a fast paced, news driven morning showproduced in partnership with Reuters and the Green Finance Institute.We've heard from about 50 guests from all around the world.It's been a truly global conversation.Carbon markets was a core theme across London Climate Action Weekand on Tuesday, LSEG held a carbon market day,which kicked off with an event bringing together government ministers,climate envoys, and CEOs to discuss a major new initiativeto stimulate the demand for carbon credits.Later on Tuesday, LSEG chair Don Robert, who is alsoa supporting chair for chapter zero, hosted a market close and a receptionfocused on engaging boards and non-executive directors.For the third year running.We welcome the International Sustainability Standards Board, who were launching their new guidance on transition plans.Our LSEG CEO David Schwimmer hosted the eventalongside Vice chair of the ISSB, Sue Lloyd,with a senior corporate and investor audience joining for a series ofdiscussions on climate transition plans and how to navigate the pathway ahead.The corporate world is relatively straightforward.We are movingquickly out of making promises intowhat are the strategies that will actually make this transition happen.This is really about supporting the economy in terms of decarbonizing,and also to do that from from an investment perspective, I think datadata will remain very important in order to ensurethat you can analyze how ready a company is.We do not think financial markets are still very good at pricinglong horizon risks, such as climate factors.And that's why we deliberately embed it in our pre-retirement solutions.We also think that, there's no pointsaving for retirement if you don't have a decent world to retire into.On the same day, leaders from across the private and public sectorscame together to discuss the changing shape of the energy transition.At our roundtable hosted with Eurasia Group. The following morning,we were delighted to host the United Nations Sustainable Stock ExchangesInitiative for the launch of their model guidance on climate transition plans.We then movedon to the opening of the World Climate Investment Summit,which we hosted with the World Climate Foundation.We focused on action that institutional investorsare taking to address climate risks and climate opportunities.We heard over the course of the week the incredible level of actionthat many of the world'slargest investors and businesses are taking on climate transition.At LSEG, we will continue to join up these conversationsto connect the providers and the users of capitalAs well as the flow of data and the engagement that enables all of this.
